When we married both my husband and I kept our maiden names, him remaining Mr X and me - Ms Y. Our daughter's name is Miss Y-X.
When filling school applications we (obviously) used correct names for all of us, however, the school seems to be very confused and keeps calling my husband either Mr Y or Mr Y-X. At first, we giggled and asked them verbally to change it. Then we called them several times and wrote increasingly more aggressive emails. Yet, every couple of weeks we receive a new letter with a new version of our names, except for the correct one. The latest was the best - Mr and Mrs Firstname Y-X.
My husband used to laugh, but now he takes offence at paying large bills with a wrong name on them.
I am probably being unreasonable, but one would have thought that in the 21st century people should be able to deal with wives and husbands having different names?

to keep insisting that the school uses our correct names?
